I managed to coerce my 27 y/o son away from his enthralling video game to head into the kitchen to make his favorite food from scratch. He was not enthused at all, but I was sure we could turn that around. I had a recipe, a bread maker, all the ingredients, and enough gumption for …
We’re Makin’ PIZZA! and Mac ‘n Cheese! and Memories!!! Read More »
The elegant dessert was slowly rolled out into the center dining area of a small Indian restaurant in Windsor, Canada, on a cloth-covered cart. Twenty-five of us were at my friend’s 50th birthday celebration and everyone’s focus was on the large white half-circle shaped mound covered with swirls heading our way. The waiter poured something …
Try, try again, and again and again! The dark stuff is fresh-picked basil from the garden, the small yellow tomatoes are from my neighbor’s garden, sauce is from Buscemi’s, thawed dough hand-spread (I almost threw it in the air before Patrick yelled, ‘Don’t even think it!!’) and a gigantic ball of mozzarella that I shredded …
Another one of Parker’s recipes. I realize it says MacDonald but that was her married name until on their 10th anniversary, her husband said he didn’t want to be married to her anymore. What a guy! This was one of her signature dishes. I’ve never been a fan of apple pie but I took the …
I was just in Block’s vegetable emporium (lol) in Romulus, and while waiting in line, my husband brought over some pickling cucumbers – I guess he wants this excellent pickle recipe made. All credit goes to Mr. Food’s Test Kitchen and here’s the link: pickles. I just compared it to make sure there were no …
I love this salad from my eldest sister. I don’t know where she got the recipe from but what I do know is that the people in a certain area of Texas won’t even TRY it and two sheet pans full that I made for a wedding reception there went to the wild hogs out …
When we first got married, we moved into a townhouse right by my Aunt Rosie and Uncle Jim. Johnny thanks God just about every day for that because she helped me along in my culinary education. I could tell I got this recipe from her because she loved her Maggi! Over the years, I’ve left …
I was invited to Karen’s daughter’s bridal shower at Karen’s home, where my first encounter with this salad occurred. I was not a fan of raw broccoli but I gave it a small taste. I was amazed. I have since made this at least 50 times and my extended family always asks me to bring …
Another one of Sirri’s hors d’oeurves made for the Palm Beach crowd. These were pretty good but messy (although the card does not back me up on that) but they were not a frequent flyer for me. Maybe you’ll have a better future with this recipe than I!
Look at the mess on this card!! And the typos! FYI ‘Drain juice off hamburger and add to sauce’ does NOT mean add the juice to the sauce! I don’t even use MSG anymore so leaving that out is fine. It looks like a murder was committed during dinner prep.
